Before I begin the live thoughts of todays Days of our Lives, I have to admit to you all that I have egg on my face regarding my criticism of the pancreas transplant storyline. I wrote yesterday that it was silly because its so highly, highly unlikely. Well, I did a little bit of research on it (read: I asked my friend who is a doctor) and found that it is possible to live with only a partial pancreas, but the more likely scenario would be to do a whole transplant from a very recently deceased cadaver and not from a live person.
